    2.4  Ounces   MeadowsweetThe parts that grow above the ground are used to make medicine. Meadowsweet is used for colds, bronchitis, upset stomach, heartburn, peptic ulcer disease, and joint disorders including gout. It is also used to increase urine output and kill germs in the urine of people with bladder infections. Meadowsweet contains tannins, which might decrease inflammation (swelling) and decrease mucus (phlegm). It also has small amounts of salicylates, which are similar to aspirin.  
    (The Latin name Spiraea ulmaria is synonymous with the Latin name Filipendula ulmaria)
    Unlike the extracted aspirin, which can cause gastric ulceration at high doses, the combination of constituents in meadowsweet act to protect the inner lining of the stomach and intestines whilst still providing the anti-inflammatory benefits of aspirin
    Do not take if you are allergic to Salicylate (asprin), are pregnant or breastfeeding (causes uterine contractions), are on blood thinners or NSAIDS.
